The Sodalite 18039 - Rolex in the old days has used the wildest materials for their dials. One group of dials which seems to have a lot of variants is the group of Stone dials. These come in an array of different properties, colors, finishing's and patterns ranging from hard stones, minerals and even more precious stones. The Sodalite is a mineral which to us is known in a blue color (though it exists in other colors too) with a Marble like pattern mixing with grey and black tones. This is the dial in hand. Housed in a white gold 18039 case this Sodalite dial is factory diamond set and free of any sort of damage, tool mark or hairlines. It is in mint condition and bears a beautiful natural pattern. The overall watch is stunning and the fact that the dial if in a white gold watch makes it actually pretty rare. Another very attractive point is that this watch comes in a full set with box and punched certificate. Something you don't see very often.
